Thanks, James. I built the Japanese mannequin to be about the height of the average japanese soldier to show the difference in height between them and the Marines.
Beautiful displays, and a wonderful collection.
what like is how tastefully you have displayed your collection gene ,the dressers and cabinets look period to your collection ,its museum quality for sure ,my favorite pistol and one ive never even heard of before is the snail drum luger ,whats the story behind these ,were they experimental ,yes the jap mannequin is very diminuative in stature ,ive noticed from referance pictures on the japanese army that some wear a strange boot ,it seems to have a central split almost like a camel toe are you aware of this design it must of seperated the wearers toes wide apart ,your stahlhelm collection is superb and i especially like the m1916 low down in one of your displays ,if you get time could you post a closer picture please ,regards james
Fantastic collection and extremelly well displayed.

Whatever its just an opinion.
James,
Yes, I am familiar with the Japanese boots you're talking about. They are tabi shoes/boots. I think they still may be common in Japan today amongst civilians. Unfortunately, I don't have an original pair of those to put on my mannequin. Just Japanese em issue boots.
The M1916 is one of my favorites, too. Here are some additional pics.
very nice stahlhelm gene ,many thanks for these close up pics ,she's a beaut and i now know the name for the japanese boots so thanks again, cheers james
James,
the luger with the snail drum is what they call an artillery luger. It was used by artillery troops as a sort of carbine. It would be fitted with the hi capacity snail drum and a wood stock.
